SECTION 14: MAINTENANCE
The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free.
Towels or mats should always be used on benches and floor as perspiration otherwise penetrates the soft
wood.
Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are
in daily use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard
should be removed from the sauna, the sauna floor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, and the
duckboard thoroughly scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should
be wiped down occasionally with a damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed
once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled rocks replaced.
To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub
brush. Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works
well.
Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot
or abuse. Any boards with signs of deterioration should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.

SECTION 13: VENTILATION
In a private sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. This can be achieved by making a vent opening
(fresh air inlet) in the sauna wall below the heater. The air outlet must be lower than the upper benches, as far as
possible from the heater and about two feet higher than the fresh air inlet vent, See Diagram 9. It is recommended
that ventilation openings meet the requirements of UL Specification 875. The minimum opening should be determined
using one of the following formulas: For R<31, V>9.3, For R>31, V>0.3R
where R=the floor area of the room in square feet and
V=the minimum vent size in square inches.
